Developing Expressive Language In Verbal Students With Autism Using Rapid Prompting Method

NEW RELEASE - April 2,2016

This book was written for a group of students with autism who have enough speech to state requests or recite dialogs but not enough to discuss a specific topic.

Developing Motor Skills for Autism Using Rapid Prompting Method

Imagine living in a body where your coordination fails to execute a specific mental command: Let's say your mind wants your hands to execute a function like holding a pencil to write a word, but all the motor coordination allows you to do is simply make a pencil mark. Imagine, if you can, wanting to be functionally independent and yet the body movements you make are beyond your mind's control. - Such is a state that can make living least enjoyable. Just as it is important for the mind to be stimulated through academics and communication, it is important for the body to continue learning skills so that "Mind and Body" find a way to unify. A plateau in cognition can make one feel stagnant. So why wouldn't a plateau in developing skills make one feel "stuck"? Communication skills on a letter-board or a key-board is essentially the same motor skill - Pointing. Growing one's skill beyond pointing is an essential goal of RPM. Otherwise, a 'Skill-plateau' may lead to further frustration if the mind is unable to direct the body to manipulate its environment. The external world, including one's own body, is a three dimensional space. To manipulate it one has to overcome selective activities (stims or OCDs). So there needs to be step-by-step lesson plan on how to achieve each goal. This book is an earnest effort in "how" to plan the first skill goals that go beyond pointing skills. It goes a step further to experience the world through the principles of Rapid Prompting Method.

Developing the Visual Skill of Reading Using RPM

Get this handy 40page booklet with simple steps on how to develop reading skills.

Students have varied visual skills. A student who can look at the iPad may not have the same visual stamina to look at a printed text on a page. As a Parent I have found it useful to help my son grow a reading habit. However, like every skill, this skill had to take it's own "baby steps".

Visually tolerating a page to create reading habits is a sensory skill that needs to be acquired for many students with autism. Many students who can read may not have enough visual tolerance to hold a book in their visual field and grow the habit of reading. The following disciplines may help the student to gradually progress towards the sensory skill of focusing on a page.

Autism can isolate a person due to their sensory challenges. This book was written to help the autistic person adapt better to the environment using the sensory learning channels- vision, auditory and tactile which are the doors to the sensory world. The kinesthetic channel is the output of how our sensory channels assess the environment. Through RPM we know there is a difference between the cognitive learning and the sensory learning. Cognitively one may know what pain is but his hypo tactile sensitivity may not let one recognize a cavity in a tooth. The exercises in this book have been tried with different students before writing. Our goal is to better the lives of Autistic people using RPM.

This book uses RPM techniques to teach mathematical concepts to students . Mathematical concepts are separated from computational details in this book because many students with autism may not have the visual stamina to look at the details of math problems or the performance tolerance to complete multi-step problems. The lesson plans in this book include steps that are easy to follow. Mathematics is not just for mathematicians or to complete a competence test. It is an integral part in our daily lives and understanding the concepts will widen the thinking areas of an autistic individual.

It's that time of the year when we get ready to look back and see how our students expressed their imaginations through creative writing . All the stories and poems were composed through spelling or writing on the letter boards using the student's session time.

Within the limited time the students generously shared their creative thinking with us in their RPM session times

Hope you encourage their effort by spreading the words of this booklet to your friends and family-

Developing Craft skills Using Rapid Prompting Method Principles

Many of our students come to us with "selective fine motor skills" where they can perform one task (finding a favorite app on an iPad for example) but may find other tasks requiring fine motor,like buttoning their shirt can still be challenging . We want to help our students become more flexible in their interests and through those activities improve their fine motor skills using their hands and fingers so we created activity boards.
